WILLIAM H. TAMBLING, OF ELEROY, ILLINOIS.

IMPROVEMENT IN CURTAIN-FIXTURES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. H0,939, dated Januaryl0, 1871.

To all whom it may concern,.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. TAMBLING, of Eleroy, in the county ofStephenson, and in the State of Illinois, have invented certain new anduseful Improvements in Curtain-Fixtures; and I do hereby declare thatthe following is a full, clear, and eXact description thereof, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of referencemarked thereon, making part of this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangementof a curtain-a ture to be attached to awindow-i`ramc, as will behereinafter more fully set forth.

In order to enable .others skilled in the art to which my inventionappertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe lits construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawings, inwhich- Figure 1 is a front view of a window-frame with mycurtain-fixture attached thereto, and Fig. 2 is a side view of the upperend thereof.

A represents a window-frame, at the upper edge of which is secured abracket or cornice, B, of any desired form or shape, plain orornamented, to suit the taste. At each end of this bracket, on the underside, is fastened an eyebolt, a, in which is inserted the end of a bar,b, to which the curtain is secured in any suitable manner. This bar b, Iprefer to make flat, with a tenon at each end on a line with the upperedge of the bar, said tenons being inserted in the eyes of the bolts orscrews ad. The curtain can be readily detached from the bracket orcornice by merely turning the eyebolts outward a triie, when the bar bat once comes out, and in the same manner the cur tain is readilyattached again. On the under side of the bracket B are fastened threemore eye-screws, one, d, a suitable distance from each end, and thethird, d, directly in the center. .A cord, e, lis then passed throughthe two eye-screws d d, the ends passing down along the back of thecurtain, around the roller D at its lower end, and up again in front ofthe curtain through the same eye-screws, d d. Both ends are then passedthrough the center eyescrew, d, and attached to a weighted tassel, E,which completes my curtain-fixture. The curtain is rolled up on theroller D and balanced at any height by means of the Weighted tassel E.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the cornice B, placed on the face of the window-frameat or near its top, and provided with the eyebolts a a, (l d, and d',with the curtain O, its cord e, bar b, roller D, and weighted tassel E,all as and for the purposes herein set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this7th day of December, 1870.

WILLIAM II. TAMBLING.
